Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.4% of the total across 135 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 14 manufacturers reported payments, led by Corium, LLC at 32.6% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $689 and has fallen 51.3% since, to $335 in 2025. Among pediatrics clinicians in NM with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 135 payments — averaging $20.14 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
